I have thoughts 😝 But I need to take a shower first, so like, don’t drive y’all’s trains into walls while I’m gone
See you then!

The whole lot of y’all are pastor kids, that’s awesome! Do your Dads study ancient Hebrew, modern, or both?
But if their hands wrote mistakes/faults, then how can we know it’s true? If it’s possible that there are many, many mistakes in the Bible simply because it was written by man, then why not deny every bit of Scr…

I had to google a definition of infallible for this, so hopefully I understand what you are talking about. I think that all of the stories and ideas in the Bible are true, but that there is room for error in things like spelling, and errors in translation. For example, Nebuchadnezzar is spelled two different ways in the Old…

We can’t know if it is or not, besides through the faith of the Spirit. But what is the most logical option?
If you take Biblical philosophy and try to find a verse that directly contradicts it, you aren’t going to find anything more than vaguer verses that have open-ended statements, or use a less conventional way of explaining som…

I’m a Youth Pastor’s kid😂
…Why not though? If an ancient prophet gave an opinion about something, and that’s recorded, does that invalidate the entirety of scripture? We know that prophets and apostles were imperfect men, take Peter, who straight up denied Christ 3 times! I just don’t see why it’s so all or noth…

You’re both mistaking what I’m saying though. I’m not questioning if scripture is inspired by God either, I’m just open to the idea that scripture is written by imperfect hands, and therefore even when inspired by an infallible God, can be mistaken in some ways. Why do we have many gospels of Christ’s life instead of 1? Why do they…[Read more]

@theducktator Yes, precisely!
@trailblazer Good! I always encourage researching, especially when it comes to the Bible. There are sooo many false teachers out there, so it’s always good to do your own research, read lots of Bible, and pray a lot ❤️

I also think we should be very careful to not put God in a box. He knows way more than we do…he can do so much more than we can ever do. We may be created in his image, but we are NOT God.
What seems impossible, silly, or even insane to us could be the exact thing God uses for his own glory.
God doesn’t belong in a box, and we shouldn’t…[Read more]

Agreed wholeheartedly.

I’ve recently heard about how King James put his name in the Bible by naming the book of James when the guy who actually wrote it was named Jacob, among other alterations.
Something like that can also be lost in translation.
There is not an English equivalent to every Greek or Hebrew word, and I think we don’t really try to think a…[Read more]

@trailblazer @thearcaneaxiom @whalekeeper
I definitely agree with Whaley on this one. If you believe scripture is God breathed…if you believe that God is truth, then you either believe that it is ALL truth and not just the parts you want to believe or you deny it entirely.
We can’t just say that the Bible is full of flaws and yet still…[Read more]

@rae Hiiii girl!! I was curious (and only share if you want to!), have you learned anything new about your great-grandfather that was possibly in the German military during WW2?
OH, and I’ve wanted to tell you…I recently learned that two of my great uncles were both in the US Army during WW2…they died long before I was born tho, but it’s…[Read more]

No worries! I’m glad you here though!
I think this is what most would say yeah.
So here’s my question though, how do you know that scripture is infallible?
For me, I’m not taking the parts I like the best, I think that we need to consider all scriptures as the word of God, but I simply don’t think we can say that…[Read more]

Anyone want to discuss the idea of infallibility? I’d like to challenge the notion as a whole.

Oh and the link’s not working for me. It’s not even showing up as a link. :/ Did you use the link button at the top of the post box? I’ve used that before and it works fine. I just type whatever text I want, highlight it, press the link button, then insert the url into the small box they give me.

Hey!!
ooh, how is YDubs? I’ve been looking into it recently and it looks really cool. I’m just not sure if I want to spend the money on it or not.
I’m doing pretty good! Life is going. Writing’s been sort of meh lately. My main WIP is falling flat rn, so I’ve been trying to think of how to push through that writer’s block, but…[Read more]

Thank y’all for all of your thoughts! They were IMMENSELY helpful!! (and I realized something about Frida {the stepmother} today that I didn’t realize before…let’s just say she deserves the nickname “Evil Lady” even more now😭😡 poor Felix *sobs*)
and with that, I will be changing Felix a bit (mostly…[Read more]

One, that is really cool!
Two, I actually have! I discovered a printed document written by my Great grandfather to my uncle and dad. And it is confirmed that he was a French POW and he was in the army. He mentioned very little about his war life, but the thing was only a couple pages. I have tried to look him up a couple more times online, but all…[Read more]
Oh! I also meant to share this story with you. My Grandma told it to me in one of our many talks, and it has stuck with me forever. I believe it was even the same weekend that we first heard about Great Grandfather helping Jews.
When my Grandpa and Grandma were engaged and soon to be married in just days, my Great Grandfather was on a trip to…[Read more]
Yesss, it was sooo cool to find out!! I’m planning on requesting military records from the National Archives (I’ve done it once before when researching someone else) at least for one of my Great Uncles.
It is possible (if the wound was actually related to combat and not just a “war story” he told😂) that one of my Great Uncles never received a…[Read more]
Okay, that is triple cool! I hope you can find that out, cuz that would be awesome!!!!
I’ve tried finding German records, but I’ve been able to find anything. I’ve got a feeling they weren’t legit sites either. Plus, the Search Engines get confused with someone name Dr. Hans Eisele when I type in my Great grandfather’s name (Hans Ulrich Eisele)…[Read more]
Yessss, I’m really hoping I can figure it out too!
Yes, that sounds very difficult/frustrating😅 It’s also very difficult because many WW2 German military records have been destroyed, given that Germany was practically in rubbles by the time the war finally ended.
It’s definitely hard to find records like that bc of that.
Given, most high up…[Read more]
It is interesting tho (and many Americans are, but you know XD) that both of us are descended from Germans.
My grandfather (Dad’s side) has something that talks about how his family on his mom’s side came to the USA from Germany in the 1700s before the USA was even founded!
Which is also really cool tbh😂
Another great Uncle of mine was in the Air…[Read more]
I didn’t mean “high up” (my brain💀)…what I meant was most military records were likely held in Berlin.
idk why I added the “high up” part. XD
So, I don’t remember if I told you this or not, but I found my great grandfather’s grave. He’s buried in Hartford, capital of Connecticut.
I also discovered you can request WWII records! I have to fill out some German forms, which is great cuz it looks like I can only fill out the German versions, not the English translations and I haven’t been…[Read more]
